True enough, the closing of the video is a marketing major's joke on modern marketing methods. Nuff said.

Craig doing mooners shows he's willing to "get out there" a bit with his sense of humor. Doesn't sound like everyone appreciates it, but hey, it's a free country as they say. I might not agree personally with that sense of humor, but I don't let it bother me. Life's just too short to get all wrapped around the axle about it.

More importantly, I applaud the sheer boldness of BLMA's approach to the hobby. Craig's clearly making great inroads with his model railroading business. I heard he started it at something like age 15, and he's now in his early 20s. Wow, what other kid in the hobby could have done what he's done at that age!

So credit where credit is due. His style may not suit everybody, but I for one am thrilled to see such young new blood producing innovative products for the hobby. We need more of his generation to get involved like this, if you ask me.

Just to set the record straight, I don't have a problem with Craig (or his mooners, for that matter)... I was reacting mostly to the interviewer, and how he came across as this kind of creepy guy ogling Craig's assistants. I was waiting for him to ask them for their phone numbers. It was all rather awkward, to say the least, and uncomfortable to watch.

Gee, that's not Jeff's personality at all - and my wife, who can sense the creepy type of guys of which you speak in a flash, doesn't agree with you. She says the video comes across as a young single guy (Craig) being a wise-acker. She isn't creeped out, she just rolls her eyes, shakes her head, and grins.

This discussion is getting ever more nit-pickey and out in the weeds  - and has next to nothing to do with trains.

Consider it a college-student prank that flopped, was in poor taste, whatever.

Back to talking about trains.

Sorry if it's too OT. Feel free to delete the whole thread (even though the headline is "post your comments about the video")...

... so there's no need to delete the thread. You got your chance to air your opinion, so good enough.

Speaking of the show, Craig's booth was always quite busy, so he's filling a demand with his products pretty well. I must say the things he has elected to produce fall in that space of: why didn't someone else think of making this?

Craig's also doing a great job of serving N scalers!
